Answer:the number of cars that were washed is 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of cars that members of a senior class.

Let y represent the number of pick-up truck or a sport utility vehicle that members of a senior class.

They charged $3 to wash a car and $5 to wash a pick-up truck or a sport utility vehicle and they earned a total of $275. This means that

3x + 5y = 275 - - - - - - - - -- - -1

They washed a total of 75 vehicles. This means that

x + y = 75

Substituting x = 75 - y into equation 1, it becomes

3(75 - y) + 5y = 275

225 - 3y + 5y = 275

- 3y + 5y = 275 - 225

2y = 50

y = 50/2 = 25

Substituting y = 25 into x = 75 - y, it becomes

x = 75 - 25 = 50

ratelena [41]

Answer:

LCL = 59.26 to two decimal places

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to estimate the LCL of the population mean with 90% confidence

We proceed as follows;

Given alpha = 0.1, then Z(0.05)=1.645 (from standard normal table), s = 15

Mathematically;

LCL =x_bar -Z*s/√( n)= 62 - (1.645 * 15)/√81

LCL = 62- (24.675)/9 = 59.2583

LCL = 59.26 to two decimal places

How do I solve this and what is the answer?
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

You use PEMDAS.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you dont know what that is, its the process used for long multistep equations like that :  Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, then Subtraction. You solve all of those in order (if they are included in the problem). So for this you would solve one side of the inequality sign first using this order, then the other side and BAM! you've solved this problem.
